The two Just Stop Oil protesters threw confetti on the court, resulting in the match being suspended
During the first-round match between Sho Shimabukuro and Grigor Dimitrov on the third day of the championship, two people wearing Just Stop Oil t-shirts ran onto Court 18. It resulted in the match being suspended after the protesters entered the grass court and threw orange confetti glitter onto the surface.A statement from the climate activist read: "Just Stop Oil supporters have disrupted the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
Deborah Wilde, 68, a retired teacher from London, who was one of the protesters who ran on the court, said: “I’m just an ordinary grandmother in resistance to this government’s policy of serving us new oil and gas licences. In normal circumstances this sort of disruption would be entirely unacceptable, but these aren’t normal circumstances.
“Forget strawberries and cream, scientists are warning of impending food shortages, mass displacement and war. We are facing new pandemics, economic inflation and increasingly authoritarian governments who will attempt to crush civil unrest. The other Just Stop Oil protester who invaded Court 18 at Wimbledon was Simon Milner-Edwards, 66, a retired musician, from Manchester.
